Default Time to mod....how to spend?

Hey, I have a 98 WS6, A4, w/ Magnaflow cat back. I have $1,000 to do some modding with and wanted to see what ideas people have.

I always tell people to go the suspension route first, especially since you already have a cat back. LCA's, SFC'c, TA, and a panhard bar will do the following:

1. Stiffen up the *** end of your car and eliminate body flex under load

2. Make every ounce of available power turn into traction instead of tire smoke

I know of 2 cars right in my town that have not touched the motors besides a lid and are running low 12's on suspension, tranny and gears only. A stall would be a good mod too though

suspension is always a good idea if your wanting to do things right but if u just want horsepower get a good cam install
